We can believe this the more readily, from the affectionate and profound interest with which we have seen him contemplated by certain French travellers, attached to the old order of things. The Duko of Reichstadt had a separate establish ment in a wing of the quadrangle of the Imperial Palace; and removed with the Court for the summer months to the Palaces of Schoenbrunn or Lachsenburg. He was born on the 10th March, 1811; and died in the 22d year of his age. His remains have been interred in the vault of the Imperial family, within the convent of the Capuchins, forming part of the Palace at Vienna. He is said to have been attended by the Arch-Duchess with great affection during his last illness, (a pulmonary consumption of the most decided kind.) But the parent and child have been studiously estranged from each other; and the large family borne by Maria Louisa to her second husband (the late Count Neipperg) is suppos. ed to have in some degree estranged the tenderness of her Imperial Highness from this solitary pledge of her first ill-omoned nuptials.-[Court Journal.]

POETRY.

SUMMER'S GONE-By Mrs. Norton.
Hark! through the dim wood dying
With a moan,
Faintly the winds are sighing-
Summer's gone!

There, when my bruised heart Teeleth,
And the pale moon her face revealeth,
Darkly my footstep stealeth,

To weep alone.
Hour after hour I wander,

By men unseen

And sadly my young thoughts ponder
'On what hath been.
Summer's gone!
There, in our own green bowers,
Long ago,

Our path through the tangled flowers
Threading slow;

Oft hand in hand entwining

Oft side by side reclining

We've watched in its crimson shining,
The sunset glow:-

Dimly the sun now burneth

For me alone

Spring after spring returneth--
Thou art gone!--
Summer's gone!
Still on my worn cheek playeth
The restless breeze;
Still in its freshness stray eth

Between the trees.

Still the blue streamlet gusheth-
Sull the broad river rusheth-
Still the calm silence husbeth
The heart's disease:

But who shall bring our meetings
Back again
What shall recall thy greetings,
Loved in vain?
Summer's gone!

HOW TO MAKE LOVE.
Look-do not speak a word at first,
Then look once more and try to speak:
And then speak out-if speak you must,
Hope's strength will fail and leave you weak.
Then stammer forth a cold farewell;

Return, and you'll grow warm again;
What courage had not tongue to tell

before, you'll sigh for now,-what then?
You'll go, and leave a warm adieu-
A coldness in the lady's heart-
Your glove with her and she with you,
A strange reluctance thus to part.
In case you should return ence more,
Take courage, she'll return your glove,
And leave it with you at the door,
And you will leave her her heart with Love.

DEATHS.

DIED-On the 30th ult. John Slidell, Esq. aged 61 years, President of the Tradesmen's Fire Insurance Company. He was seized with cholera in the course of Saturday night, and died at 11 o'clock the following morning. The death of Mr. Alidoll will be long Invented as one at the most afflicting that has occurred from cholera in this city. Well known and much respected by his townsmen generally, he was more particularly endeared to others, not less by the warmth of his friendships, and the benevolence of his disposition, than by his uncompromising integrity and spirited independence of character. To his bereaved friends, when they recover from the shock of this sudden stroke of calamity, it will be a solace to reflect that the worth which makes it to them irreparable, ensures its having been a gain to him: And the summons, however violent it may seem, can hardly be considered abrupt when it came to one every way so well prepared to meet it.
